CONTROL METHOD, IoT DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046269 titled 'CONTROL METHOD, IoT DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a control method for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and their users. It involves the use of digital accounts for both the IoT device and the user. The method includes obtaining transaction data, allowing the user to transfer an amount corresponding to the usage of the IoT device, specifying the digital account of the IoT device based on the obtained transaction data, and transferring the usage amount to the IoT device's digital account by deducting it from the user's digital account and adding it to the IoT device's digital account.

  • The patent application proposes a control method for IoT devices and their users.
  • Each IoT device and user has a digital account.
  • The method involves obtaining transaction data.
  • The user is allowed to transfer an amount corresponding to the usage of the IoT device.
  • The digital account of the IoT device is specified based on the obtained transaction data.
  • The usage amount is transferred to the IoT device's digital account by deducting it from the user's digital account and adding it to the IoT device's digital account.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • IoT device management and control.
  • Billing and payment systems for IoT devices.
  • Usage tracking and monitoring of IoT devices.
  • Resource allocation and optimization for IoT devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the management and control of IoT devices.
  • Enables accurate billing and payment for IoT device usage.
  • Provides a secure and transparent method for tracking and monitoring IoT device usage.
  • Facilitates efficient resource allocation and optimization for IoT devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved control and management of IoT devices.
  • Accurate and transparent billing and payment systems.
  • Enhanced tracking and monitoring of IoT device usage.
  • Efficient resource allocation and optimization for IoT devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

a control method in which each of an internet of things (iot) device and a user who uses the iot device has a digital account includes: obtaining first transaction data for allowing the user who used the iot device to transfer a first amount corresponding to a usage amount of the iot device; specifying, from the first transaction data obtained, the digital account of the iot device that is associated with an identifier uniquely assigned to hardware of the iot device; and transferring the usage amount of the iot device to the digital account of the iot device by deducting the first amount from the digital account of the user and adding the first amount to the digital account of the iot device based on the first transaction data obtained.
